William the Conqueror

It was here at Aldreth on 27th October 1071 that Hereward's forces fell and the heavy armour of William the Conqueror's knights could gain access onto the Isle of Ely.

The last pocket of English resistance to the Norman Conquest capitulated through treachery and Hereward is reported to have fled, disappearing into the mists of the wild fen and on into legend.

Welcome to the 'Aldreth 950' festival in commemoration of Hereward!

his actions at Aldreth passed into legend...
